Hi, neurodivergent queer artist, 21+, finally made one of these after being off Twitter for over a year. Figured I should probably be aware of what’s happening in the world.

I also don't think people are taking into account just how malicious AI proponents can be, and however much we might be angered by games sold to us with undisclosed AI, assets are being sold to developers with undisclosed AI also. This is something being done *TO* developers also!

If you're killing random Jews at a festival in a Australia in the name of anti-zionism, that *is* an attack on Jewish people as a group, because you've decided that Jews and Zionism are synonymous and killing the one is a blow against the other.
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

Absolutely abhorrent update just rolled out on twitter where you can freely edit any image using AI with the hit of a button that appears in the corner of every image thumbnail now 😂 In case there's an influx of people returning to your feeds for a bit.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

I knew that historians and social science folks from a wide range of backgrounds and views were appalled at how Erika Chenoweth's stuff was recently taken as gospel, but it wasn't until editing this piece that I learned about their appalling views on armed resistance to the nazis. It's bad, y'all.
We're glad this powerful piece is drawing way more attention to how dubious some of these oft-invoked tropes from Chenoweth's writings are.
For example, most folks taking these at face value probably aren't aware that their views on anti-Nazi resistance amid the Holocaust are...not good.

They released these Trump photos by accident yesterday and now they’re gone! 👀
This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.
AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Even before this, the Trump regime was thoroughly and repeatedly kneecapping their various cyber operations and defense infrastructure
This is one of the most backwards stories I've ever read.
Any intelligence agency sharing data with CISA should assume at this point it's compromised. I don't say that lightly.

Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.
At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

This is critically important. Democrats need to pass it if they retake Congress. Trump will veto it. So pass it again. Campaign on it. Given current polling, corruption of the FBI, and the brutality of ICE and BP, there’s no better time to say, “Federal police are not above the law.”
Restoring Bivens rights: one bill "would allow citizens to sue for damages resulting from constitutional violations committed by federal officers," while the other "would create a cause of action against federal law enforcement agencies and police depts for constitutional violations."
These congressmen want to give you the right to sue federal law enforcement for violating your rights
The proposed bills aim to codify a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed individuals to sue the feds for Fourth Amendment violations.

This goes way beyond even denaturalizing an immigrant citizen. This person was born here.
